Organic Weed Control

Any and all of these alternatives to harmful chemicals are worth a try, remembering that integrated pest management for any pest, including weeds, may require more than one method for adequate control. Mulch deprives weeds of sunlight which deprive them of life! Biodegradable film is great on annual veggie beds, and an alternative to plastic based fabrics. Coconut Fiber chips are beautiful, and retain moisture.

Weed Flamers

A great tool for scorching weeds into submission! Just a quick wave of the fiery wand breaks down cell walls, effectively killing the plant. Flamers are highly effective on young, annual weeds, but perennial weeds with taproots or woody stems may require reflaming.

Pre-Emergent

An herbicide that inhibits seeds from germinating (see Corn Gluten Meal).

Mulching Plastic

Mulch deprives weeds of sunlight, preventing their growth. Plastic mulching film prevents weeds from finding their way up to the sky.

Non-Selective

Synthetic herbicides can "select" which types of plants the chemicals will effect. Organic herbicides cannot do this and so are "non-selective."

Solarization

Transparent polyethylene plastic placed on moist soil during the hot summer months for approx. 6 weeks increases soil temperatures to levels lethal to many soil-borne plant pathogens, weed seeds, and seedlings (including parasitic seed plants), nematodes, and some soil residing mites.

Weed Fabric

Woven weed fabric chokes out weeds by depriving them of sun. This strong, woven material prevents weeds from growing up while still allowing water to penetrate into the ground.

Organic Herbicides

Ingredients may include concentrated d- limonene, clove oil, cinnamon oil, vinegar, and citric acid. These herbicides are non-selective and non-systemic, meaning any plant sprayed will be affected, and they kill the above surface foliage of plants.

Non-Systemic

Synthetic herbicides go into the system of plants, organic herbicides do not, and so are "non-systemic."

Reasons to Buy Our Organic Seeds

Grown Without Synthetic Pesticides

Conventionally grown seeds come from plants that grew in the fields even longer than food crops and are likely to have had even more exposure to synthetic pesticides and fungicides to keep them viable as seed producers. Organic seeds are produced without the use of synthetic pesticides and fungicides.

Certified Organic

Our Peaceful Valley brand vegetable seeds are CCOF & USDA Certified Organic, Non-GMO and Open-Pollinated (with the exception of hybrid seeds). You can be sure that the crops grown from our seeds are of the highest quality.

Guaranteed to Germinate

Our Peaceful Valley brand vegetable seeds are guaranteed to germinate! If they do not, just contact us and we'll be happy to replace them.
